Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Coat the baking dish lightly with the olive oil.

Step 2
Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out enough flesh to enlarge each cavity, chop the scooped flesh, and reserve it.

Whisk the eggs with the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Fold in the cheddar and reserved avocado flesh.

Step 4
Set the avocado halves snugly in the baking dish and divide the egg mixture among their cavities. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the filling is set and reaches 71°C at the center.

Sprinkle the baked avocado boats with the chives and serve warm.
